Mike Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Just got onto the fourth planet, after another cool boss fight. About 57% of the pickups so far; I think I've got most of the ones that I can get at the moment.
Ike Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Where are these maps that show you the expansion locations?
EchoDesiato Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Where are these maps that show you the expansion locations? Go to the Chozo Observatory in Sky Town, then you're maps should be mapped. It's very handy, but I collected everything marked on my map and I still just have 98%. I guess the two remaining expansions must be in... the Phendrana-like area where the Screw Attack was. They're not in the GFS Valhalla, I'm positive I collected everything there.

It needed the spider ball to get it so your probably missing that. EDIT: actually where does it show the item locations? X.X

Then some morph ball slots in the room will get activated, and them bomb those slots. Oh, and the last two remaining items were indeed there. Here I come, special ending!
Cube Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I was just messing about in the menu and found an option I never heard of before - Boost Ball Aiming. For some reason the default is off - I wish I had found the option earlier, it's great.

Cube Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Really? How does it work? Do you aim with the Wii remote? In morph ball tunnels and on spider ball tracks it works the same, on the ground you aim the direction of the boost with the Wii Remote.
c0Zm1c Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I can't find that option. Where in the menu is it? EDIT: found it, you have to be in the game.
Chris the great Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 first option i changer was fire to b. its just more fun that way. alot of federation scans dont come up till you visit planets. and when you restart the game, you keep all your old scans! just started again today, decided to turn the difficulty down to normal for this run through, just so its a little more fun, kept throwing my wrist out on veteran. final boss left me crippled. just a few of my thoughts on the game finnished with 100% of items, well, im not sure about you guys, but i expected some gf troops to "turn" cos of phazon poisining. kinda sucks they didnt. also, the valhala could have had a little more, maybe a big pick up, a secret weapon like super missle's for outher guns in prime would be good. planet phazze was a bit of a let down. i dint collect 100% of the items just to have it not matter for the final boss! final boss itself was ok. id rather it ended with a final battle with dark samus though. also, the arrora may have been a bit more fun if it was like mother brain, in its tank and you having to break a hole in it. ending it self was a bit weird, i liked samus sitting down mouring the outher hunters. id have liked to have had a final suit, prime had the bitchin black phazon suit, prime 2 had the light suit which was pretty nice, but 3, it had the acid rain shield. which looked ok, just not great. all in all the ending was pretty decent, boss fight was ok. liked it more then the first part of the metroid prime boss and ing emperor. so it was a pretty fun boss. last scene was more confusing then anything, mystery green ship? any one else notice that the final ending for prime 2 had dark samus reborn in space but in 3 she was re re born in the space pirate phazon labs?
Davey_T Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 My MP3 still not come yet and it got dispatched on the 25/10 =(. Gutted
ThePigMarcher Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 I am just wondering which boss people think is the hardest. The one that has given me the most grief is Mogenar. On my first playthrough on Normal he gave me a hard time , but I am now going for the 100% on Veteran and that piece of shit has given me a absolute nightmare again. Seven attempts last night , and on my second time this morning I finally nailed the bast' after an epic 35 min (wtf) battle. Why am I struggling so much against him/it ? Am I that lame ? and I dread to think how hard he is in Hypermode.
Cube Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 The one that has given me the most grief is Mogenar. Yea. He isn't hard, he's just annoying.

On my first playthrough on Normal he gave me a hard time , but I am now going for the 100% on Veteran and that piece of shit has given me a absolute nightmare again. So far, definatley him!!! He's just so hard to hit when his sheild are down... plus looking up isn't the best and he's always up!!!
The Lillster Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 So far, definatley him!!! He's just so hard to hit when his sheild are down... plus looking up isn't the best and he's always up!!! That boss is solid. I haven't completed the game yet, but that is definently the hardest boss i've fought in a long time.
Chris the great Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 strated on veteran, bosses who were hard were the icy bounty hunter, the first seed and the final boss. didnt have problems on any outhers. not that hard a game but god thouse 3 bosses got me shouting. ice guy especialy.
Cube Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Nearly there, opened op the last planet but I'm getting all items before I continue. I wondered onto the planet quickly just to see what it was like. The cutscene reminded me a lot of Serenity. Stuck in hypermode sounds cool.
Hellfire Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Aaah I'm "stuck" for the first time. This is what Metroid's all about.
Illusionary Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 My MP3 still not come yet and it got dispatched on the 25/10 =(. Gutted Where did you order from? My Play.com preorder's still lost somewhere - I gave up on Saturday, and bought it from Asda (cheaper!) instead; I'll return Play's copy when (if) it turns up...
Meta_Omega Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 "]Is it revealed in any of the endings what that green ship following Samus is? A Yes or No will do fine as an answer.
EchoDesiato Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 "]Is it revealed in any of the endings what that green ship following Samus is? A Yes or No will do fine as an answer. It's supposed to the ship of one the Hunters from Metroid Prime Hunters. A bit of a lame cliffhanger if you ask me. Who is willing to send me 3 Friend Vouchers? I'll give you 4 in return.
Meta_Omega Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Who is willing to send me 3 Friend Vouchers? I'll give you 4 in return. Count me in.
Chris the great Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 to late to volentere? i have about 10 left if any one wants to trade.
Mokong Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Just beat it first time, Veteran, 100%, 17 hours 25 mins... got all Lores, except 3 Space Pirate ones (wonder where the hell they are), but missing a few creatures somehow too???? Bosses I found hard were, First Seed Boss, Gandrayda, 1st part of the final boss and the 3rd Seed Boss was kinda hard too, mostly because 1st time i fought him i had his energy down to like one more hit but i didn't have enough energy left to turn on hypermode... these were the only bosses to kill me, but I got them all on the 2nd go. The fight with Dark Samus was cool, when she cloned herself that was unexpected (i forgot to read the scan, i just scanned and fought), Aurora 313 was cool but you kinda saw it coming since before you even played the game (if you watched the Aurora preview vid on the Preview Channel), but i was slightly disappointed they didn't go the full 9 yards and call it "Mother Brain" I thought that was what they were setting up. Also a bit disappointed that after you beat it that was it, i thought there might be another "transformation". I was really hoping that Dark Samus would turn back into Metroid Prime, well not exactly the same (since you don't have the various beams anymore) maybe even just the Metroid Prime Essence (or whatever the "ghost" form was at the end of Prime 1) would have really rounded off the trilogy nicely. It's supposed to the ship of one the Hunters from Metroid Prime Hunters. A bit of a lame cliffhanger if you ask me. Yeah I thought it was that, it reminded me of the green guy name begins with a K i think, can't remember the full name..... but not only is that a poor cliffhanger it also make no sense since Hunters was meant to take place between Prime 2 and Prime 3 and all those other hunters died, so he should be too. Wasn't the whole Prime series meant to take place between Metroid and Metroid 2 couldn't they have come up with something that would hint towards Metroid 2? The place where Samus is sitting down remember the deaths of the other 3 hunters.... is that Tallon IV? Looks like the area where you placed the artifacts to enter the final boss battle. A few things however I didn't like about the game.... not enough Dark Samus, I was expecting to come across her more, like in Prime 2, or even in some Cut Scenes or something. When your in the ship there's a button that opens up your weapons and one that turns on your shield, when I spotted these right when i first booted up the game I was thinking there'd be even 1 section when you get to have a spaceship dog fight. And no Power Bomb, why no Power Bomb? Ok so the Ship Missile took it's place, but I saw little point in having the Ship Missile upgrades, I only ever used them for those like 3 or 4 set pieces that you were required to use them to clear a path, I never had to (or even thought of) try and use them in a fight. The Energy Cells were too easy to find also, I found all of them bar one without even tryin to look for them. But that's all minimal anyway, as it was still a fantastic game, and I can't wait to go through Hypermode can't wait to see how much the difficulty ramps up. Oh and one nice touch I loved was how the reflection of Samus inside the visor changes as she gets more corrupted, was well into Skytown before I noticed it, thought something was wrong with my TV i was like "why does her eyes look funny?" Oh yeah I just took a quick go on Hypermode to get to first save point before I came online and noticed something I didn't spot before... at the very start when you're on the Olympus, to the right of the first two Marines you see there's a "Target Practice" range.... was that there on Veteran mode? I never saw it? How does it work, I can't get the score to go higher than 2 even though I keep hitting the targets? Oh and it's nice you get to keep all your scans from the previous play, should help to cut some time off for sure. And one last thing.... does anyone have, or have a link to somewhere I can download the games music as mp3 (the file type not short for the games name )
